OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 328th compilation post of OCD's latest curation efforts. It has been known that OCD has been supporting leading niche communities under its Community Incubation Program. However, there are still a lot of other niche communities not supported by OCD. This curation initiative will help in supporting those communities.

This newest curation effort aims to encourage authors to post in appropriate communities even if those communities are not under the incubation program. This will also encourage users to explore more into the different communities in Hive.

OCD curators and community leaders will find posts from other niche communities and recommend them for an upvote. Unlike those communities in the incubation program where curation is focused, this curation initiative is spread out. This will help find undervalued posts from smaller communities that deserve support.

This will highlight both the author and the community where the post is located. This way, smaller niche communities can focus on growing their subscribers and increasing the engagements within their respective communities. A small boost goes a long way.

Speaking of boost, here are the curated posts for this batch:

Your master should be finished to the volume it sounds best at to you, with consideration to what’s expected by the average listener for the genre. That is the sweet-spot.

Snacking on animal fodder is a delicious experience. The tender green leaves, the slightly chewy stalks but the flowers! Ah the flowers. They are a riot of sweet purple that drizzles down your throat. The experience is exhilarating. Of course if I were a bee I would bee all over those purple flowers but as a human - with a tendency for foraging in the gardens - nibbling lucerne flowers is irresistible. They may be best eaten in a salad but we BuckarooBabies prefer galloping in the fields and stopping only to sample blossoming lucerne. The purple treat is always worth writing home about.

This time we just went for a walk. It always brings me and our children joy when we are outside exploring nature. Most of our neighbors made use of the small space they have to grow plants. Just like what I did with our little garden. Talking about my garden, I will give you an update about it next time. :)

So when I got home from work tonight, there was still a bit of daylight left, which was great because the clouds rolling in were absolutely sensational, so I got the new camera and took it for a run just down to Southbank as I haven't been down there since we got out of lockdown and thought that it would be a great spot to test out the camera.

It was light rains yesterday, and today in the morning. Very dangerous rain. I talked to the friend of mine yesterday night. He's spent 2 hours in the traffic jam on the way home. But Kyiv lately is listed among cities with the biggest (and slowest) traffic in the world, so I wasn't surprised.

Happy day friends of Hive, Today I bring you the wonderful avocado seed tea, and I say wonderful because according to studies, 70% of the properties of this fruit are found in its seed.

It is rich in antioxidants and vitamins. Among its benefits are anti-aging for having amino acids that contribute to produce keratin protein, prevents constipation due to its high fiber content, contains abundant vitamin C and B complex vitamins among others.

Novi Sad city center turned into a real festive market and together with all the decorations that have been put up a month ago or so, it makes it a proper winter wonderland. These little houses are set up every year and you can buy all kinds of homemade stuff (honey and rakija for example), some sell candies and there’s also mulled wine that many people enjoy on a cold day.

On Wednesdays, in the last academic year, I had lessons, excursions in nature, so I took my students and we went to the nearest park to observe nature.

This garlic infused olive oil recipe is perfect for dunking fresh sourdough bread into, drizzling on your veggies, spicing up a pot of mashed potatoes, making salad dressing better, and those pasta dishes go from “I’m in my 20’s” to “I’m a middle aged real food, from scratcher, home cook’n, kitchen slayer”.

As you well know the Parthenon is a very ancient structure from the golden age of Greek culture. Much of it was stolen by various European nations, in England and France there are many fragments. This image that I had to copy, as a drawing exercise represents an ancient hero, according to Charles Bargue in his Drawing Course (Cours de Dessin) it is Theseus, yes the one who fought with the minotaur, although other scholars say that it is the body of Heracles, yes, Hercules, the ideal of Greek masculinity, and it does not look much like the one in the Disney movie.

This concludes this batch's curation report. We would like to congratulate those who are featured and supported. Keep up the good work and continue to explore Hive Communities.
